Since my Blog was blocked for a few days (supect to spamming), here's a rather large update.

I finished the mount of the VMB (Vulvan Mega Bolter) and the ammo feed.For ease of playability and painting, the complete VMB and its Ammo Feed is detachable.Here is a WIP of the ammo drums.Here they are mounted.And connected. Now they can feed the enormous ammo hunger of the Mega Bolter.Next on the list was the secondary engine to power the Vulcano main gun.I tried to emphasize the steampunk topic more than the traditional bulky 40K theme.This is the final position of the secondary engine inside the ZEUS.

Next were the items required for the "bridge".

As you can see, I use a real ships helm for navigation.

Next, the engine controls - I can really see the Captain scream "Full steam ahead!"

This is the bridge itself (the soldier is just for scale)

And my favourite:

The main Computer Screen.

Plus some scetches I made for planning.This will be the final position of the bridge and the screen.

Primed.

First shot of the screen during painting.

And completed.

Next was the helm. "Sic itur ad Astra" - this is the way to the stars (honor).That's it for today.

DEI GRECI?

(not) Santas Workshop?

Hello and welcome to my litte workshop.
Initially I started this blog to show some of my ideas and scratchbuilding adventures. I started off with a familiy of airborne vehicles for the Imperial Guard in 2007. Since they were all named after Greek Gods (Godesses), I called the blog "Dei Greci" - Greek Gods.

My favourite Forum is always the WORK IN PROGRESSforum, but you can also find me on Dakka Dakka, Warseer and occasionally on Ammobunker.
But my real home is WIP...well and this little workshop :)

In the meantime the DG family grew and now contains a super-super heavy tank, the ZEUS - a project that made it even into the CMON Annual 2009.

Together with the ZEUS I slightly moved the focus of my IG from airborne to steampunk. With this change came the need for special, steampunk infantry and a diorama.
